I am looking for a Systems Engineer within product delivery for a client of mine who are a leading tech and engineering firm operating within the UK defence sector. You'll lead the digital shift from legacy tools to DOORS NG, delivering end-to-end requirements lifecycle management across systems, software, and domain engineering.

You'll enable traceable, auditable, and governed requirements practices, integrating partners, suppliers, and MBSE models into a seamless Digital Thread. Your leadership ensures certified capabilities, streamlined change management, and a single source of truth across complex, regulated programmes.

• Own the delivery, migration, and continuous improvement of Requirements Engineering capabilities.
• Lead the controlled transition from legacy RM tools to DOORS NG, ensuring safe coexistence, data quality uplift, and integration with MBSE, ALM, PLM, and Test.
• Define roadmaps, prioritize backlogs, and implement governance, naming conventions, link semantics, and quality metrics.
• Enable full end-to-end traceability from stakeholder needs through verified and certified system capabilities.
• Manage vendors, suppliers, and cross-partner integrations to deliver scalable, compliant, and future-ready solutions.
• Drive workforce adoption with training, role-based onboarding, and change programmes.

• Deep expertise in DOORS/DOORS NG, requirements lifecycle, configuration management, and digital thread integration.
• Experience delivering requirements engineering capabilities in Aerospace, Defence, or regulated industries.
• Proven ability to lead complex transitions, migrations, and multi-partner integration programs.
• Strong strategic vision, stakeholder influence, and program management skills.
• Security clearance or eligibility is mandatory.

From pilot migrations to fully operational DOORS NG environments, you'll define how requirements live, evolve, and connect across the enterprise-transforming traditional processes into model-driven, digitally traceable engineering excellence.
